**BACK on Market 6/23 due to no fault of sellers** Join the legacy of owners in this stunning 202-year-old well-maintained farmhouse known as the Pattison House on near half an acre of gardens in the heart of Metuchen. 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with 3 bonus rooms in the walk-up attic. No detail is to be missed from the ornate steam radiators to the gorgeous wood banister that wraps up to the 2nd floor. Enter the home under the 150-yr-old Wisteria Vine which forms a natural canopy under the afternoon sun. To the left, a large living room with woodburning fireplace. One wall of windows and a built-in bench provides a great place to kick off your shoes and cozy up with a book. Go past the powder room and through the kitchen you'll find an original butlers pantry and laundry area. Cross the center foyer and enter a stunning family room/study with floor-to-ceiling built in bookshelves which leads to a formal dining room. Upstairs 5 bedrooms await including an owners suite with large dressing room and full bathroom. To preserve the historical integrity, the former fireplaces used to warm these bedrooms were properly decommissioned and plexiglass put in its place to show off the unique details. Discover the attic door and go up the staircase to an area that is just waiting for your touch. With skylight, large storage area, and 3 bonus rooms, all freshly painted and cleaned, these rooms are ready to become home office space, playrooms, or hobby areas. Full bath in attic never used by current owners and is not included in bath count- the potential is endless. Full basement with large workshop, storage and bilco walkout to side yard. The backyard features lush gardens with many perennial flowers, ferns, and flowering trees that bloom throughout the year. Large mirror in front foyer comes with home as it has always been there. In 1976 it was included in the Borough of Metuchen's Environmental Resources Inventory as a historic site and in 1990 it was also included in a Borough-f
